FOO FIGHTERS Unveil Grohl-Directed Video for Brand New Single ‘The Sky Is A Neighborhood’

The band’s ninth studio album, Concrete And Gold  to arrive in September.

Here it is, The Sky Is A Neighborhood, the second track lifted from Foo Fighters‘ forthcoming new full-length Concrete And Gold, out in September.

Recorded in a single afternoon, the new cut truly lives up to its name of a pure rock anthem, and gracefully follows their previous massive single Run.

Dave Grohl says of the track:

It’s the biggest thing sonically that we’ve ever done. One night I was lying out looking up at stars. Just imagining all of these stars as places that have life on them as well, and I decided that the sky is a neighborhood, that we need to keep our shit together in order to survive in this universe full of life. But I had no music yet. I just had the title. So everyday I would walk around, kind of humming this thing in my head.

The video was directed by the frontman himself as he explains:

‘The Sky Is A Neighborhood’ is a kaleidoscopic sci-fi mini-epic as massive as the slow burning rock anthem that gave it life. Hypnotic swirls of colour of extraterrestrial origin, glowing eyes, levitating children and more combine to create an otherworldly cinematic palette equal parts beautiful and creepy—the result being arguably the most striking video in the Foo Fighters’ multiple award-winning canon.

Simultaneously, Foo Fighters are launching a constellation viewer, enabling every FF fan to transform to their phone into a tool for exploring the sky in their neighborhood: click here on your phone to configure a realistic constellation map in the viewer’s 3D sphere, then let it identify the constellations in your night sky—all while tiny Foo Fighters soundtrack your explorations at the bottom of the screen.

Concrete And Gold was produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, and mixed by Darrell Thorp. It’s the first new Foo Fighters music since the band gifted fans with the free Saint Cecilia EP in late 2015.

Concrete And Gold due out September 15th on Columbia Records.

The band will also play London’s O2 Arena on 19th September.
